We had a great experience going to Torres del Paine. The trip is long from Punta Arenas, but our guide Cristian and driver Cesar made it very comfortable. The national park is beautiful!, We had limited time, so did a 1 day tour, next time we would like to stay at the park for a days.

Our tour operator Amigos Patagonia proved to be excellent in their job. Christian, our tour guide is amazing.As we are both senior citizens, he adjusted to our pace . We could do the trekking part at our speed and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Christian was well informed and could clarify our queries. He was pleasant throughout and took good care of us.
Our tour driver Caesar was excellent too. His driving was very smooth without Jenks. He too assisted us while climbing stairs and slopes. Cudos to both of them . An excellent team of Amigos Patagonia !!!

Dress prepared and just go with the flow! The views are stunning! Our guide Gerardo was excellent and made the trip tailored to our needs and was very informative! We really enjoyed having him as a guide!
Torey_J, Nov 2024
Gerardo and our driver were great! They were attentive to our needs, had all logistics taken care of, and very informative about what we saw. I’ve done several different guided tours on trips and this was one of the best I’ve experienced.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Hello!
Wow, what a fantastic review—thank you so much! It’s truly heartwarming to hear that you rank our tour among the best you’ve experienced. That’s the kind of feedback that keeps both my driver and me motivated to go the extra mile (literally and figuratively). 😊
It was a pleasure sharing the wonders of Torres del Paine and the Milodon with you. From the stunning landscapes to the fascinating stories, it’s such a privilege to showcase this magical part of Patagonia. We’re so glad we could make your trip seamless and unforgettable!
Whenever you're ready to explore more, you’ll always have friends here in Patagonia.

Very impressive tour and excellent service. Ask for Juan as your tour guide.
Competent, funny and professional.
THOMAS_H, Mar 2024
Gerardo is an excellent tour guide! His passion and knowledge for Torres del Paine is unmatched. The tour was everything we hoped for and more, Torres del Paine is absolutely beautiful. Thanks!!
Margit_Z, Mar 2024
Cannot recommend this experience highly enough, both for the park and our guide. Juan doesn’t deliver a scripted lecture like some tours, but rather a free flowing conversation filled with the history, geology, ecology and culture of the Magallanes region that adapted and customized to our interests and itinerary. My only regret is only scheduling a single day to visit Torres del Paine, and already planning a future trip back to Patagonia.
Gerardo_B, Feb 2024
Torres Del Paine is such a beautiful place to visit. The landscape and the color of the water on the lakes were amazing. Our guide Gerardo Jaque made it even more enjoyable as he explained everything about the park and pointed out all picture perfect location for photos. I highly recommend Amigos Tours for Torres Del Paine full day tour from Punta Arenas. Thanks for the memories.
Joel_A, Feb 2024
Geraldo was very knowledgeable about the geology of the area, providing insightful perspective of the day-long tour along with history of the region, as well as being engaging and well spoken in both English and Spanish. He and Philip (driver) were flexible and worth spending the day with in a foreign country. Highly recommend.
monghock_C, Jan 2024
The view of the lakes and mountains of Torres Del Paine. It's so beautiful which is memorable for both of us. The Guide Juan was so knowledgeable with the whole park and we enjoy the information he shared with us. He was also very helpful and experience guide especially on the wind condition and even helped my wife when she encounter strong wind against her.
Robert_L, Dec 2023
Christian and Geraldo offered a very personally engaged private tour for our family. We started at 6 and the tour stretched almost till 9 as I stop often for photography. They were patient with our request and informative to our questions. Christian is an expert of waterfalls and next to Spanish, English he can speak Chinese with us and Gerado is a photographer too. Amazing to manage the trip while getting to know a few new friends. Thanks.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that we provided a personally engaged private tour for your family.
It's wonderful that they were patient with your photography stops and informative in response to your questions. Christian's expertise in waterfalls and multilingual skills, including Chinese, adds an extra layer to the tour. And how fantastic to discover new friends in the process!
We appreciate your kind words and are grateful for the opportunity to create memorable experiences for you and your family. If your travels bring you back our way, we'd be delighted to host you again.
Faith_K, Dec 2023
Gerardo was amazing. He spoke perfect English, he knew a lot about the park and made for a wonderful experience. Felipe who drove us made sure the road was smooth, even when it wasn't. I would highly recommend booking Gerardo Jaque at amigospatagonia.com He is terrific.
Response from Host, Feb 2024

This was an awesome tour; where to begin?
First of all, Torres del Paine is incredible to behold. It is a long day going from Punta Arenas to Torres, but the sights are other-worldly. Secondly, Cueva Milodon is remarkable. However, the day is made by the tour guide.
Our guide, Gerardo, spoke fantastic English, was enthusiastic and engaging, but most of all, knew his subject. So, we learned about the geology of the area, the history (both good and bad) of the region and the best sites to see. There were numerous stops for amazing photos, a hike to a waterfall, stops for coffee and snacks and plenty of H2O.
In the shadow of Torres (literally), the car wouldn't start. Gerardo and the driver worked very hard to get us up and running. At one point Gerardo was literally holding jumper cables (without clips) to the battery terminals. A few moments later, he was back telling us the history of Torres... Why take a tour instead of driving yourself? This is one reason. Most importantly, a good guide will give you useful information and you will learn a lot about a wide range of subjects.
We saw guanacos, condors, a fox, an armadillo, pink flamingoes and other large birds. We looked for pumas in certain areas but did not see any.
This was an unforgettable day and the highlight of our stay in Punta Arenas. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Dear friend,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your incredible experience with us. We're delighted to hear that you found Torres del Paine and Cueva Milodon to be as remarkable as we do.
Your kind words about our knowledge and enthusiasm mean a lot to us. We aim to provide not just a tour but a deep understanding of the region's geology, history, and the best sites to explore.
While it's unfortunate that our vehicle had a hiccup during our walk from Salto Grande, we appreciate your understanding. Sometimes, these incidents are part and parcel of the adventurous Patagonian experience. The dedication of our team to ensure you had a memorable day is evident, and your mention of this highlights the value of guided tours.
The wildlife sightings sound incredible, and we're glad you got to experience the diverse fauna of the region.
Your recommendation truly warms our hearts, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable experiences.
Warm regards,
Gerardo P. Jaque

An incredible experience. Full marks to Gerado and Felipe who went out of their way to make this experience unique and comfortable. Their knowledge was exceptional. They gave us 15 hours of their time and were constantly interested in our satisfaction.
The place is mesmeric in terms of natural beauty. The wildlife is also something to behold.
Highly recommended. Seen fewer better places in the 80 countries I have visited.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Dear Friend,
I'm thrilled to hear that you had an incredible experience with us! It warms my heart to know that we were able to make your time with us unique and comfortable.

I couldn't agree more about the mesmerizing natural beauty of the place. Witnessing the captivating wildlife is an experience like no other. Your recommendation means the world to us, especially coming from someone who has explored 80 countries. It's an honor to be counted among the best places you've visited.
Thank you for your kind words and for choosing us for your adventure. We would be overjoyed to welcome you back anytime.
Warm regards,
Gerardo

I can’t say enough good things about this tour and our guide. Juan (aka Johnny) was so kind and attentive and knowledgeable. He is beaming with passion and enthusiasm for not only his job but Patagonia. Truly this experience was incredible and worth every single penny. Ask for Juan when you book
Rande_L, Feb 2023
Gerardo was fantastic! Exceeded our expectations. Excellent English as he had lived in the U.S. for a few years. Very professional, intelligient and caring. He was always making sure we were comfortable. He had great information and lots of fun facts and stories. He picked us up at our hotel in Punta arenas. We had just returned from a 5 day Antarctic cruise on Silversea. We had a limited amount of time to see Patagonia and this private tour worked very well for us.
Gerardo was right on time at 6a.m. to pick us up. He had a excellent private driver for us the whole time, so Gerardo could focus on the tour. They loaded our luggage and we were off. Along the way we had multiple rainbows and multiple double rainbows which we thougt boded well for this day.
The drive up to Patagonia was uneventful. There was not a lot to see, but Gerardo pointed out occasional items. We dropped our luggage off at The Singular and then headed to Torres Del Paine. This is not the usual stop for him but he accomodated us with no problem.
Torres Del Paine is an amazing scenic adventure. We saw everything that was on the promotion for this tour and then some (see our photos) Breathtaking! We saw lots of animals that Gerardo pointed out to us and told us about flamingos, guanacos and lots of other wildlife. If you're in the area this place is not to be missed. You could spend days or weeks exploring. But, you can see a heck of a lot in one day.
Gerardo and his driver were so much fun, they became our new friends and we highly recommend his tour. We enjoyed him so much that we had him pick us up a day later for the drive back to Punta Arenas and our flight home.

Great tour! Our guide (Christian) and our driver (Cesar) were both friendly and patient. It is a long tour but well worth it as you will get to explore Torres del Paine at your own pace. We made multiple stops for photo ops and both our guide and driver made sure that we enjoyed our experience. If you only have one day to explore Torres del Paine from Punta Arenas, this is it!

Christian was our guide and Phillipe was our driver. Both were excellent. We were lucky because the weather was absolutely perfect, and Torres Del Paine was gorgeous! Our tour was 14.5 hours and we managed to see EVERYTHING we wanted to see in the park as well as the Cave of the Millodon. We were given lots of information and we talked about many subjects during the 3.5 hour drive there and back. I recommend Christian and Phillipe very, very, highly

How to begin...Gerardo was the most fantastic guide. So full of energy and knowledge. We saw so many animals and birds. But the Torres del Paine was the ultimate. Saw it from every direction. With beautiful glaciers and waterfalls. Thank you so much for making this so special Gerardo and company.
Joanne_T, Dec 2022
My sister and I had a fabulous time with Gerardo and Felipe. They were professional, polite, knowledgeable, and fun. They took us on a full day trip to Torres del Paine, while we were staying in Punta Arenas. They took us to some "local known" places, that we would not have experienced with a large tour group. We had an exceptional cultural exchange, with many belly laughs, a great sightseeing experience, and a memories for a lifetime. We highly recommend Gerardo and Felipe for an intimate guided tour of Punta Arenas and Patagonia. Gerardo is fluent in English and Felipe is like me...understands much and doesn't feel comfortable speaking. Both anticipate every need. Oh and ask to stop by the the panaderia y pataseria on the way to Torres del Paine.
Lutz_B, Dec 2022
Gerardo has been a great guide, very pleasant guy, very competent, perfect English (lived in the US for years Abend got married there), it has not only been a pleasure to have him but as well we learned a lot about the history of the country and nature.
Nikolai_P, Oct 2022
Torres del Paine nation park is a must see attraction if you are in Punta Arenas. I would like to complement our private guide: Gerardo Jaque - he definitely went an extra mile to make our travel experience very memorable and exciting. The pictures he took with the iceberg on Gray Lake will stay with us forever.
rajiv_i, Jun 2022
Gerardo was prompt in informing us of what we will need prior to the trip, prompt in arriving at the hotel on time. Took his time telling us about the area, it’s history, and ensuring we got to see all that we could at Torres. We went in the dead of winter and the roads were icy but Maricio was an excellent driver and kept us safe through out the trip. Highly recommend you use Gerardo and team for your Patagonia adventures.
nicole_k, Apr 2022
We had an amazing tour!!! Despite bad weather and harsh wind, we saw some beautiful animals and waterfalls! Gerardo knew a lot about the area, he was really able to answer all questions. He is super friendly and just ensures you have a great experience. We had so much fun!
Mollye_L, Mar 2022
Gerardo led an absolutely fantastic, comprehensive, informative tour. We hit every highlight of the park and found it well worth the cost of a private tour, if you should choose to go privately, though I’m sure Gerardo would be an amazing guide for a group as well. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the region, he’s a great communicator, and he makes for good company as well. The only variable that’s obviously out of his hands is visibility due to weather conditions, and we really lucked out, but I’m sure he’d provide an incredible experience regardless.
dennisxie, Jan 2020
Gerardo is very good, courteous, smart and speaking excellent American English. He and his driver were accommodating, and made changes to the plan per our request almost in real time. Car was clean, driver was very good and humorous. Highly, highly recommend this tour with Gerardo.

Partimos el tour con lluvia pero a lo largo del día se fue despejando y tanto el conductor, Mauricio y el guía Gerardo tuvieron la paciencia y creatividad para generar otras visitas mientras esperábamos que mejorara el tiempo
Tb nos gustó el interés de ambos por informarnos permanentemente sobre flora, fauna e historia del lugar
